This is a fun game but requires heavy modding in my opion to make it work. The game does crash for me after an hour of gameplay before I found subsim.com and got the mods to fix the game and make it actually play and work. In theory it is an expansion of Silent Hunter 3, but this is Ubisoft here they have been failing the PC community for a decade now. This game I luckily only payed $4.99 for and in my opion this is the correct price for any and all future Ubisoft PC games since they. Seem to call a half finished port/game a fully functioning product without much optimization except to get it to running on there computers since Yves Guillant, probably had a say in this game for those who don't know. He is there CEO and made up a ridiculious theory how 93-95% of all PC gamers pirate there games and steal from him and his company and the game developers everywhere. He got the brilliant idea back in 2008 which is where uplay came from to as he puts it will fix the piracy problems of his games and should put an end to the 93-95% number he made up. If you want to have fun playing submarines play either Silent Hunter 3, or 4. The last great games in the Silent Hunter franchise even the 1st and 2nd, are still fun to play to do this day I keep an old. Computer I built that has a 1.5 GHz Pentium D processor and 512 MB of RAM. Along with a 8800 Geforce GPU, just to play Silent Hunter 1, and 2 because it still has Windows XP.

Now I don't have any experice with these glitchs and game breaking bugs as they have never happend to me and my 40 hours of game play. The game runs smoothly and I've never had a problem with my saves. Other than that it runs fantastic and is pretty difficult at times.

Tbh I'm not sure if it's because I have a Uplay account prior to this and understood the hoops to jump through to play the game with out modding it or any of the fussy stuff keeps saying in the comments.

Maybe It's the fact that my computer is as old as most of the kids in elemetary these days who play COD on late nights till their mom tells em to gtfo.

Either way, if you're looking for a bit more immersive Sub experice then get this one other wise just get the safer purchase of SH4.

8/10 Could have added more varity to the whole ship and better communcations with other subs.

Everybody is right, but i put a few mods on and works fine, love this game , could be better forsure, if they didnt have problems with guy who made it and actually put more effort in , but lol 600 hours in my log book , wish it was more of a hit, id love an imporved #6

I'm probably only going to have to only good review. But my job is on a submarine and it is really cool to see what it was like before. I have had no problems with this game at all. And it provides nice insight into history. Even if you do it yourself. It's a lot of fun if you have paitence. Because paitence is what it takes to kill silently and disappear.

This game came out wrecked from release and little patches couldn't get it on the franchise's level. It should be a sim on a certain level. >>>You<<< can make it happen.

**********If you buy this, make sure you MOD the HECK out of it!!!!!!!*****************

Still is a moddable platform with an ACTIVE comunity. Check SUBSIM forums!

If you can't be bothered with downloading tons of mods or reading through all the threads download the:**Wolves of Steel Megamod**.

It includes **Open Horizons II** campaign MOD and dozens of other enhancements from graphics to UI and gameplay. Along these lines, get **REAL NAVIGATION mod** if you want more deph on navigation simulation.

Don't be lazy and start reading if you want it to be a good simulator.

It Seems like this game sucks but that's NOT the case At ALL.The game is okay , the problem seems te be U-play..I never had problems with U-play so i like it very much till now , so give it a chance for only a few bucks you got yourself a beautiful nice game with some glitches that if you're not a veteran SH3 player are hardly noticeable.Graphics are much better than the previous silent hunter games , i like the 1st person gameplay more than the old school gameplay of the previous parts.I not regret buying this title but regret that i buyed the whole bundlle and installed SH5 first.. SH3 expansions are obsolete now after i tried it for a few hours and playing SH5 again :)Hope someone has help from this comment and does the wise thing ;)

Aircraft never attack (doesn't make much difference since you can never see them and point your flak guns at them), they never added the destroyer escort feature, never added u-boats other than the type 7, never added...

I could go on about all the stuff the manual says the game has but doesn't. The game needs heavy modding if you do decide to buy it. The only improvement over SH3, albeit very small and buggy, is the addition of missions other than "Patrol C5".

A great game for those destin to rule the seas as a U-bout Captain its a little hard to learn all the controls at first and the mechanices are not to me taken lightly, but as so as get it down it is a fun ride to the end. if you are someone who has played battlestation series this game is a different thing all together. I couldnt believe how many hour that i put into this game.i will warn you that their is a bug with the ubisoft lancher and i lookes for a solution every where i searched high and low, forums, videos, and posts on the web. the thing that worked for me instanly and i mean that i was about to give up. but i found out is at all you need to do is to go to ubisoft web site an download the one their on the site dont believe that the one that game gives you will work if it does lucky you if it doesnt go to uplay.ubi.com sownload their game lancher and it will work.

This game could have been amazing if ubisoft sticked with updating and patching it. When I first started playing it i was blown away by all the fancy new things. Then the game crashed, then it crashed again, then again. So I burned if off my harddrive in frustration at ubisoft for not fixing it. Heck at least there aren't any microtransactions in it.

The game runs fine with no modding for me, but I just can't enjoy it because of the bugs and design flaws in the game. The most frustrating one for me is the time compression which will get stuck and slam you into port regardless if you have travel mode set or not. The other major glitch is that the game does not record kills properly so you can't achieve mission objectives and you "fail" said objectives. There is a major glitch after the second campaign (if you fail it) which prevents you from continuing onward unless you restart the game and reload. There are just too many bugs. The game itself is missing elements like complete crew promotion and command and control within the sub. As captain you have to personally man the deck gun, flak gun, etc. despite issuing orders to your officers. This game is graphically pretty, but it lacks the substance of SH3.

I've been a HUGE Silent Hunter fan. Even played the orignal 2D game. However no matter how much I want to I can not recommend this game to anyone. I have modded this game front and back and it doesn't matter. This is arguably the most immersive silent hunter game however the immersion is contantly broken when the bugs come out and ruin just about everything. Want to try and enjoy the game? Well your going to have to download a MINIMUM of 10 mods just to get the game into a playable state. The only thing this game does right is the graphics can be pretty amazing. However you can get the same graphics with SH4 and have a polished and enjoyable experience.

Casual players should definitely stay away as there is no more "auto-lock" the only way you can score hits now is if you learn how to do it manually (which is actually harder than SH3/SH4 as they removed the useful interfaces) or you just start spamming all your torpedos and hope one hits.

The community is amazing and they always have been however even the hardcore guys like Subsim are having a hard time justifying playing this game over SH4 and SH3 which are both without a doubt much better and polished games. The devs have completely abandoned this game as well so there is no hope that it will ever be fixed. Been about 5 years since release and still a heap of trash even with all the community support.

First off this game does have Uplay and is kinda wierd to get started but once its up and running its a fun game to play. Although i have not played any of the other games this one made me a fan of the series. overall i would give it an 8.5/10

I loved the Silent Hunter series, and I was excited to play this title when I first heard of it. Sadly, this game does NOT live up to the high standards set by its predecessors.

The main flaws include the following:Uplay DRM to play the game.Game-breaking bugs and flaws that will sometimes prevent you from even progressing, or on occasion, will reset your progress to a much earlier point.-Examples of this include: -When opening the periscope view the game instantly crashes to desktop with no crash dump, report, or warning. -Some enemy units will disappear in full view of the player without explanation or warning. -Certain story objectives are not acomplishable due to the game not tallying kills properly.

The main reasons to enjoy your time in this game:All gamebreaking bugs aside, the game looks beautiful, and is a good platform for mods (assuming you are allowed to, I wouldn't know as I have only played the stock game).The mechanics from the old Silent Hunter games are somewhat present, but the game is much easier than it's predecessors.

Not because gameplay is bad. the game itself is amazing. what ruins the game is Uplay. soon as thats no longer involved then I will recommend this game. otherwise don't buy it less you want to deal with a really crappy version of steam
